Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Ge Yi's proposal is of great help to Tang Wang's supervision of state affairs. After all, Lianchengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi's positions are placed there. Whether Zhou Shixiang admits them or not, they are the governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Qing court recognizes this. of. However, Zhou Shixiang did not let Ge Yi send troops to attack Qinzhou, as long as he came to Wencun first and waited for Zhao Ziqiang to make progress before deciding whether to attack Qinzhou and send troops to Annan from the land.

Zhou Shixiang's view is that staying in Qinzhou at the moment is a chance for the people of Annan to turn around. After all, he has no intention of occupying the entire territory of Annan at the moment, because the Taiping army does not have the ability to destroy the country, and even if it does, Zhou Shixiang does not have the time and energy to deal with the subsequent large-scale guerrilla resistance of the Annan people. At that time, the 300,000-strong army of the ancestors failed to clear the Annan rebels in Annan, and the later Yankees also failed. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang did not think that with the current strength of the Taiping army, he could complete this major event of completely occupying Annan. If you invest too much in Annan, you will put the cart before the horse. Compared with Annan, who is like a wolf-eyed, the Qing court is the confidant of the Taiping Army.

In using troops for Annan, Zhou Shixiang had only two purposes, one was for Annan's rice, and the other was for those who were detained. The former is more important than the latter. Although all the subordinates value the eldest princess as the future princess of Qi, many people clamored to go to Annan to take back the princess, but in Zhou Shixiang's eyes, he had never seen that The princess may not be as important to him as a load of rice.

The Ministry of Military Intelligence has made preliminary progress on Annan's intelligence operations. According to investigations, Annan's domestic situation is complex, and the three powers are dragging their feet. What the eldest princess and her party are doing is to occupy the north of Annan and do it privately.

This information gave Zhou Shi more confidence in using troops to Annan, and Annan's terrain was narrow and long, the naval forces were weak, and the coastal defense was close to zero, which was a favorable condition for pressing Annan. Zhou Shixiang had already given all the power to Zhao Ziqiang as to what to do with Annan. As long as Zhao Ziqiang didn't act stupid, then the Annan people were destined to end up the same as the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.

Some of the military staff think that if the Annan people are under the pressure of the expeditionary army, they will go all out to march to Guangxi, and then they may threaten Nanning and other places, just like Nongzhigao in the Song Dynasty. In this regard, Zhou Shixiang smiled. The Taiping Army currently only controls a few large towns in Guangxi, and the southern part of Guangxi has basically not been occupied, where the Tusi armed forces are entrenched. If the Annan people are interested in going north, Zhou Shi, on the contrary, Raise your hands to cheer them on. Because of this, the Annan people will instead help the Taiping army to eliminate those chieftain forces who refuse to surrender.

Zhou Shixiang wouldn't worry if those chieftain forces fell to Annan and attacked Nanning together with Annan's army. In the end, the battle situation really turned into that, the Taiping army sent troops to capture Qinzhou, and then plugged in from Qinzhou to cut off the back road of the Annan army in the north. The expeditionary army will land in Annan again. The Annan army that wants to go north with one family alone will have to get down. After all, it is the family in the north of Annan that detains the officials and princesses of the Ming Dynasty, not the two in the south. If Daming can help those two families to kill the one in the north, I am afraid that the two families in the south will be happy to bear the military salaries, money and food expenses, and even send troops directly to help. In this world, there are very few people who give money in the snow, but there is never a shortage of people who fall into the ground, not to mention the huge conflict of interests involved.

Grand scholar Guo Zhiqi is almost in good shape now, and Zhou Shixiang brought him over from Guangxi. Knowing that Zhou Shixiang returned to Guangdong to support the establishment of Tang Wangjianguo, Guo Dashi did not object or support, but remained silent.

Gui Yongzhi and the others guessed the true thoughts of Master Guo, and they all knew that this person was an important cabinet minister of Yongli Xinzhong. He did not support Tang Wang's supervision of the country, indicating that his heart was towards Yongli. If he was brought to Wencun, There's no telling what troubles will come out.

Zhou Shixiang's view is the opposite. Guo Zhiqi is silent, but in this world, silence is often an attitude.

If Guo Zhiqi really opposes King Tang's supervision of the country, he can directly shout out and show Zhou Shixiang the appearance of a loyal minister of Yongli, but he doesn't. Li abandoning the country is really bad. If a new emperor cannot be re-established in the country, everyone will be a coward and an emperor who abandoned the country and fled. Let me ask, the emperor himself ran away, and he still expects the soldiers and civilians below to continue fighting for him. Is this possible?

Therefore, Guo Zhiqi's silence just shows that he supports the establishment of Tang Wangjianguo, but because of his embarrassment, he really can't express his support. This is similar to Lianchengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi in Qinzhou.

However, compared to Lianchengbi, Guo Zhiqi was much more enlightened. He did not refuse Zhou Shixiang's invitation to go to Wencun with him. On the way, Zhou Shixiang asked several times what happened to Annan's will to confer him as King of Qi, but Guo Zhiqi shook his head and said he didn't know, he only knew that Yongli only conferred Zhou Shixiang as the Duke of Yue, and married the eldest princess to Zhou Shixiang. for wife.

Zhou Shixiang asked Guo Zhiqi whether it was possible that Yongli made this decree before he abandoned the country and fled. Guo Zhiqi hesitated for a while and did not speak, because he did not know whether it was possible. Guo Zhiqi doesn't know whether it's true or not. Even the ministers of the cabinet don't know whether it's true or not, so it's even more possible to operate.

Zhou Shixiang desperately wanted to get the canonization of the King of Qi, and the matter of conferring the prince was only the King of Tang who was supervising the country. , for a long time in the future, the title that Zhou Shixiang can get is probably the Duke of Yue, not the King of Qi. However, simply using the identity of the Duke of Yue to preside over the Tang Dynasty's regime and the Northern Expedition, and to command the Ming forces in various places, is obviously not enough, far from enough. So what is false must also be made true.

When they reached Taishan, the sixth town general Suna and the cavalry town general Shao Chengguo also rushed over, so that the Guangdong generals were only the seventh town general in Chaozhou, Hu Qili, and the fifteenth town general in Lianzhou, Qi Hao. If they did not arrive, the rest of the generals came to participate in the state affairs of Tang Wangjian. Although the Guangxi side achieved a great victory, Yu Shizhong was busy redeploying the Guizhou-Qiang defense line, and it was impossible for him to come to Guangdong for a while. However, after the war, Wang Fuchen and Blind Li rushed to Guangdong without waiting for orders from the military commander's office. The two of them didn't come to participate in the support of the Tang Dynasty, but wanted to come back quickly, otherwise they were afraid that they would be incorporated into the Guangxi Field Army, and thus would not be able to participate in the Northern Expedition to the Southern Capital.

On the Guangxi side, people with discerning eyes know that there can be no more large-scale battles. With the annihilation of Roto and Line Guoan, the Yungui Qing army wants to organize a large-scale offensive in the short term, and it will not happen in three or five months. not. In the past three or five months, the Northern Expedition Army has already reached the southern capital.

Suna, a town from Manchuria, came to persuade King Tang to join him, plus several other Manchu and Mongolian generals, making it even more brilliant to persuade King Tang to supervise the country. Zhou Shixiang asked them to come here because he wanted Tang King to see it. You see, even the Manchurian and Mongolian Tartars have come to persuade you to be a prisoner of the country. This is the world's heart, and you have no reason to be wrong.

After Zhou Shixiang arrived at Wencun, he immediately led the officials to invite Tang Wang to supervise the country again. When Tang Wang received the second State Order of Persuasion for Supervision, he saw the great scholar Guo Zhiqi behind Zhou Shixiang's name. surprised.

On this day, due to a sudden heavy rain in the early noon, it cleared up after the rain, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. Wang Ming, the magistrate of Taishan outside the palace, saw it far away, and shouted "Auspiciousness from the sky" on the spot, so in the chorus of "Auspiciousness from the sky, Tang Wangshun responds to people", Zhou Shixiang and Baiguan Wenwu knelt down and asked Tang Wang to supervise the country.

It was the first time that King Tang saw the rumored "thief scholar", and it was also the first time that Zhou Shixiang saw Tang Fan himself. The two looked at each other, guessing the other's true intentions.

"The world's major events must not be without a master, how can Your Highness abandon the world and make a false name!" Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Pianyuan, raised his arms and shouted.

"The ministers respectfully invite His Royal Highness to supervise the country!" Zhou Shixiang led the civil and military to worship again.

"I'm lonely and alone, there is no way to supervise the world. The Son of Heaven is still here, so why should I supervise the country? I'll talk about it later." King Tang refused again as last time, and did not agree to this because Zhou Shixiang came in person.

King Guangxing of the Jing Kingdom hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven abandons the country, and the army and the people of the world lose their masters. If Your Highness does not supervise the country, will it be possible to endure the separation of the army and the people, and bear the destruction of the great Ming Jiangshan society and crops!"

"Your Highness is Shaozong's younger brother, don't you want to avenge Shaozong?" Guangxi Zuo Buzheng Zhang Zichang asked.

"This...."

King Tang hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating for a moment, he said decisively: "The emperor will not return, he is nearly fifty years old, his qi and blood have declined, why should he take on the important task of supervising the country? Others in the clan."

Hearing this, Guo Zhiqi, a scholar who had been silent for a long time, said, "His Royal Highness is the younger brother of Shaozong. If Your Highness does not supervise the country, who can supervise the country?"

Tang Wang was stunned, and said, "Jinsha has King Lu to stand."

King Lu?

Everyone was shocked. How could King Tang mention King Lu?

Zhou Shixiang's expression also changed. Where did King Tang act? Could it be that he really didn't want to be a guardian of the country. King Nalu is under the surname of the country, and he can hold it. If he really embraced King Lu, he Zhou Shixiang made a wedding dress for others.

Eunuch Pan, Hongbuyuan, Liu Tichun, and others were also surprised. King Lu and King Tang couldn't hit one place. How could His Highness want King Lu to supervise the country?

Pan Hong and the others arrived at Wencun yesterday, but King Tang didn't see them, so they didn't know what King Tang thought.

When everyone was surprised, Guo Zhiqi said slowly: "Although King Lu is also a vassal, he is too far away from Shaozong. Today, he has abandoned the country. Looking at the sea, only His Royal Highness is qualified to supervise the country."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly agreed. Tang Wang turned a blind eye, and only said firmly: "Gu said that the loneliness is weak, and has no intention of supervising the country. You don't need to mention this matter again. I'm tired~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You can go by yourself." Said After finishing, she got up and walked away. Mrs. Tang Wang glanced at Zhou Shixiang with some hesitation, and lowered her head to follow Tang Wang.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone didn't want Tang Wang to say such a few words and left, and they were all stunned for a while, not knowing how to react.

Liao Ruixiang, Wang Zhangjun and the others looked at Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang shook his head slightly and signaled everyone to go out first.

After everyone withdrew from the Tang Palace, they whispered to each other about what the Tang King had said before. There is a saying that this is just two persuasion. Tang Wang may not want to be the guardian of the country, and he will agree to the next persuasion. There is also a saying that looking at the appearance of King Tang, it seems that he has no intention of supervising the country, and this matter is probably going to be yellow. Some people worry that if King Tang refuses to supervise the country, then who can supervise the country, it is difficult for the King Lu of Jinsha to fail.

Eunuch Hong and Hong Buyuan came forward and greeted Guo Zhiqi a few words. When talking about King Tang's reaction, the three of them had their own guesses, but they all made up their minds that they must go to the palace to see King Tang in person later. Wang Guangxing, Liu Tichun and others gathered together and discussed the matter.

Zhou Shixiang didn't want to talk about this matter in front of so many people, so he ordered his personal guards to prepare to go back to Taishan first, and then come to persuade him after two days. And he was confused in his heart, not knowing whether what King Tang said was true or not. It was necessary to send someone to King Tang to find out.

Just after getting on the horse here, someone yelled at the back: "Okay, you Tang King, you don't know how to praise, you don't want to be the emperor, my family's handsome will be the emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials who had not yet dispersed were stunned. When Zhou Shixiang heard this, he almost fell off his horse in fright.

Which **** is making trouble for Lao Tzu!

Zhou Shixiang was furious, turned his head to look, but found that it was the bald Jiang He who was yelling, and there were three people beside him, one was Ge Yi, the other was Suna, and the other was Shao Chengguo. (To be continued.)
